Inertia reel
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 131.
Each seat belt is equipped with an inertia reel.

the inertia reel when it is pulled suddenly.
The belts also lock under full braking, under acceleration, when driving downhill
and when cornering.WARNINGIf the seat belt does not lock when it is pulled sharply, have it inspected im- mediately by a specialist garage.

Belt tensioners
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 131.
Safety for the driver and front passenger wearing their seat belts is enhanced by
the belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front three-point seat belts.
The three-point seat belts are automatically tensioned in the event of a frontal
collision of a certain severity. The belt tensioners can also be deployed if the seat
belts are not fastened.
The fastened three-point seat belts are automatically tensioned in the event of a frontal or side collision of a certain severity.
Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of minor frontal collisions, side andrear-end collisions, in the case of a rollover and also not in accidents in which no
major forces are produced from the front.
WARNING■ Any work on the belt tensioner system including removal and installation of
system components because of other repair work, must only be carried out by
a specialist garage.■
The protective function of the system is only adequate for a single accident.
If the belt tensioners have been deployed, it is then necessary to replace the
entire system. 
